As climate conditions become increasingly unpredictable, farmers face one major challenge: protecting their crops from heat stress and sunburn. Rising temperatures and intense solar radiation can damage leaves, fruits, and ultimately reduce yield and quality. This is where Vitisol® comes in – a 100% natural biostimulant that acts as a reliable shield for your plants.
What is Vitisol®?
Vitisol® is a non-microbial biostimulant of mineral origin, rich in clinoptilolite zeolite. Applied as a fine spray, it forms a natural physical protective layer on the surface of leaves and fruits. This unique layer cools the plant surface, reflects harmful UV radiation, and reduces fruit and leaf temperatures by up to 5°C – without blocking the natural sunlight needed for photosynthesis.
Key benefits for farmers
- Reduces heat stress and sunburn on leaves and fruits
- Protects against harmful UV radiation while maintaining photosynthesis
- Improves water management by binding moisture on the plant surface and releasing it slowly
- Supports fruit development and ensures higher quality harvests
- Maintains berry and fruit skin health, improving storage life and wine quality
- 100% natural and environmentally friendly, suitable for organic and biodynamic farming
Proven in practice: Vitisol® outperforms in Haidegg Research
In a recent trial at the renowned Haidegg Research Station for Fruit and Viticulture, Vitisol® once again demonstrated its full potential – with impressive results: the combination of leaf removal and Vitisol® clearly outperformed all other treatments, ensuring optimal ventilation, healthier grapes, and improved water management.
Easy application
Thanks to its fine milling, Vitisol® can be applied with standard spraying equipment. It is recommended to renew the protective film after heavy rainfall to maintain its effectiveness. Watch here:
A natural choice for sustainable agriculture
Vitisol® is more than just protection – it’s a step toward sustainable farming. With its proven effectiveness in reducing heat stress, enhancing fruit quality, and securing reliable yields, it has become an essential tool for farmers across vineyards and orchards.
